Is it better to get the oil changed before I store the car, or after I get it out again in the spring?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm going to be out of the country here for a while, and by the time I get back, it's not gonna be P-Car weather. Is it better to get the oil changed before I store the car, or after I get it out again in the spring?

POST 2Original post

Before. Oil that has some miles on it can contain water and unburned fuel, depending on how the car was driven before you shut it down. Fresh oil for storage.

POST 3Original post

I always change mine before winter storage. Then I put on a battery maintainer and drive it up on Tire Cradles. http://www.tirecradle.com Some people use multible lavers of carpet with good results. These tires will flatspot if left in the same place for a long time. High air pressure will just make the spot harder and smaller. Jacking the tires off the ground is not good for suspension parts. I have been doing this since 99 with perfect results. I never start the car again after I put it up for the winter.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
